I’m out at the Flash Forward 2003 film festival and conference and sat through the keynote address by Kevin Lynch yesterday morning. He gave a sneak peek of a new product named Central they’ll be releasing “this summer”. Macromedia put out a press release on the web about it here and have a new section on their site about it here.
My reaction? it’s a paradigm shift. the applications he demonstrated included a financial forcasting app that could be used offline to view complex charts and data. When the user reconnected to the Net the data was updated. He also showed a “hot spot” locater being created by Intel that will give you specific locations of wi-fi points. It can be used either offline, or if you are online the locations listed link to a map so you can see where the addresses are. Lynch also announced that Macromedia has released a Flash 6 player for the PocketPC2002 and showed it playing back video in a Flash clip.. and the video looked good.. very cool.
